I've watched every single bankroll challenge video he made. Some, several times. And I STILL have no clue how he turned $100 into $10,000 in about 60 sessions.

Started today with around $3,300 and ended with around $10,200, not even counting rakeback.

Amazing achievement.

You sir are the GOAT.

Outwit, Outsmart, Outlast! What a survivor!

Chris ferguson turned $1 into $10,000, that is better than Doug's $100 to $10,000

Chris Ferguson is the true GOAT

You gotta take risks to win big and when you have a big edge shot taking makes sense.

ALL HAIL THE SUPREME LEADER DKP!!!

Sorry but I don't really get all the excitement.

I mean fair play to the guy for what he has achieved but what was the point?

A quick look online will show you he has achieved success at a high level. It's like a world class soccer player going back to face amateur Sunday pub teams to prove that he could beat them. We all knew he could, he did, so what?

I'm not ragging on the guy and it's an impressive haul on that last session but I suspect he could repeat the challenge any number of times with similar success. Maybe not quite as spectacularly but he was never really going to fail was he.

100*100=10k
10k*100=1mil

Or maybe its 100 squared. 10k squared is 100 million....

Even though Doug makes ppl on the poker table net losers, Poker wins from having him!! He is great for the game, is a World Class player and very entertaining on top of that witch is a pretty rare combo. From all accounts is a standup guy and respects the integrity of the game. Stands up to all the Garbage of the Pokerstars Tyrants who clearly disregard and disrespect the players. Thank you sir, you are awesome.

Ferguson did this in what year like 2007? any average grinder could 100x their roll back in those days. Doug's 2018 achievement is waaaaay moar impressive aiiic

Boku87 achieved this in 2 weeks playing an insane volume of mttsngs, 10 years ago if I remember correctly. Idk if he still wins nowadays, but was a big achievement back then I guess.
